Top 5 Reasons Not to Use Hadoop for Analytics
As a former diehard fan of Hadoop, I LOVED the fact that you can work on up to Petabytes of data. I loved the ability to scale to thousands of nodes to process a large computation job. I loved the ability to store and load data in a very flexible format. In many ways, I loved Hadoop, until I tried to deploy it for analytics. That’s when I became disillusioned with Hadoop (it just "ain't all that"). At Quantivo, we’ve explored many ways to deploy H...

Three things you should never put in your database
As I've said in a few talks, the best way to improve your systems is by first not doing "dumb things". I don't mean you or your development staff is "dumb", it's easy to overlook the implications of these types of decisions and not realize how bad they are for maintainability let alone scaling. As a consultant I see this stuff all of the time and I have yet to ever see it work out well for anyone. Images, files, and binary data Your database supports BLOBs so it must be a good idea to shove ...
How often to change a job?
Those people who choose to change jobs once a year or a few times a year, please keep in mind that if you do not have your own business plans or your own start-up ideas. The choice you have now may be fatal to your future career development. After talking with many development managers, architects, product managers, and other friends, I find the greatest feeling of them is that the vast majority of IT people do not know what they do. From the interviewer's point of view, if you don't know what y...

Learning Is More Important Than Knowing
Although DuckDuckGo's success is based more on ideology than technology, you'd have to be a pretty arrogant technologist to not appreciate and be impressed with what this small team (for a long time, 1 person) has accomplished. And while DuckDuckGo teaches us a number of valuable lessons (about business, and privacy), to me, the most important, is that good programmers should be measured by what they can learn, not what they already know. Gabriel Weinberg, DuckDuckGo's creator, has been wo...

Why I Quit My Job to Start a Tech Company
Back in November of 2006, before NY Mag and TimeOut put startups on the cover, before the “tech bubbleâ€, before Twitter and Foursquare were popular, before working at a startup in NY was considered a reasonable thing to do, I was a private equity investor for a $1.6 billion fund called Quadrangle Group. It was just my third year out of college and I made a little over $250,000. For a Brazilian immigrant who spent most of his childhood kind of worried he would have to do physica...

The worst program I ever worked on
Most contract jobs fade pretty quickly in memory after the work is done, but some you remember for the rest of your life. This is one of the latter variety. This happened long ago, at a (fair sized) company that shall remain nameless. The software was a chunk of code that had been maintained by a single guy that had been fired recently and was a core component of a commercial system. So far nothing unusual, companies tend to find out that they have a piece of critical knowledge in one head all ...
